More about The Velveteins? The Velveteins are a modern rock n’ roll band hailing from Edmonton Alberta, consisting of primary songwriters Spencer Morphy and Addison Hiller.
Originating as a solo project by frontman Spencer Morphy The Velveteins were officially formed and fully realized in 2014, after his return from half a year spent travelling around Australia. The bands’ self produced first effort ‘Fresh Claws’ came out in the summer of 2014. A sun-soaked swirl of psychedelic and indie rock drenched in good vibes, the album marked the first collaborative effort between Morphy and Hiller.
The remainder of 2014 saw The Velveteins hit the road for the first time. It wasn’t too long afterwards that the band caught the ear of Nashville based producer Lincoln Parish (Cage the Elephant) and by November the group was on their way down south to record their latest effort. Co-Released on April 20th, 2015 by the group and Weiner Records ‘A Hot Second With The Velveteins’ builds off of the melodic indie/blues rock of their previous album while packing a much stronger punch in its energetic and psychedelic elements. The release was supported by extensive touring across the country and a first time appearance at CMW in Toronto.
